Serious question? What shrapnel is she hitting at 30,000 feet? Is there just garbage floating around in the sky?

It's a good thing you weren't the pilot. Except that I'm guessing you're a man. In which case, you were born with the skills, knowledge and balls to immediately be better qualified than she was at landing the plane, right?

And to answer your question, I think it was a beer bottle somebody threw out of the window of the plane in front of this one. Because she was tailgating.
